[0039] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the character " / " represents an "or" relationship between the objects before and after it. For example, A / B represents: A or B.

[0040] The term "and / or" is a description of the association between objects, which means that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B, which means: A or B, or, A and B, the three relationships.

[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0042] Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an indoor unit, including a main body 10 and a panel 20.

[0043] The main body 10 is equipped with an air outlet 101.

[0044] Panel 20 is located on the outer side of the main body 10. Panel 20 includes a first plate segment 201, which is movably connected to the main body 10 and can move relative to the main body 10 between a position covering the air outlet 101 and a position avoiding the air outlet 101. Figures 1 to 3 In the middle, the first section is in a covered position.

[0045] The main body 10 includes a shell 107, a fan, and an indoor heat exchanger 108. The shell defines an air outlet duct and has an air inlet and an air outlet 101 connected to the duct. The fan and the indoor heat exchanger are located inside the duct. When the air conditioner is running, air enters from the air inlet under the action of the fan, exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger, and then flows out through the air outlet 101, thus realizing the normal operation of the air conditioner.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when in the covered position, the first plate segment 201 covers at least part of the air outlet 101. On the one hand, this can improve the aesthetics of the indoor unit, and on the other hand, it can prevent dust from entering the indoor unit from the air outlet 101.

[0047] When avoiding the air outlet 101, the first plate segment 201 avoids the air outlet 101, that is, it does not block the air outlet 101, so as not to affect the air outlet 101 and meet the air outlet needs.

[0048] Optionally, the indoor unit also includes a drive unit, which is drivenly connected to the first plate segment 201 and is used to drive the first plate segment 201 to move relative to the main body 10 between a covered position and a clearance position.

[0049] The drive device moves the first plate segment 201 between the covering position and the avoidance position, which can improve the intelligence of the movement of the first plate segment 201 and improve the user experience.

[0050] The number of driving devices can be one or more. When there are multiple driving devices, the multiple driving devices are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the first plate segment 201.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, there are two drive devices, and the two drive devices are located along the length of the first plate segment 201 (e.g., ...). Figure 2two ends of the left-right direction.

[0052] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the driving device comprises a motor 40 and a screw rod 30. The screw rod 30 is drivingly connected with the motor 40 and threadedly connected with the first plate segment 201, and the extension direction of the screw rod 30 is the connecting line direction of the covering position and the avoiding position.

[0053] The motor 40 drives the screw rod 30 to rotate, and the screw rod 30 converts the rotation of the motor 40 into reciprocating motion along the length direction of the screw rod 30, thereby driving the first plate segment 201 to move along the extension direction (length direction) of the screw rod 30. The extension direction of the screw rod 30 is the connecting line direction of the covering position and the avoiding position, so that the screw rod 30 can drive the first plate segment 201 to reciprocate between the covering position and the avoiding position.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 , the extension direction of the screw rod 30 is the up-down direction, the covering position is below the avoiding position, the motor 40 drives the screw rod 30 to rotate, and the screw rod 30 drives the first plate segment 201 to move up and down, thereby realizing the up-down lifting motion of the first plate segment 201 between the covering position and the avoiding position.

[0055] When the motor 40 operates, the motor 40 rotates clockwise, drives the screw rod 30 to rotate in the first direction, and makes the panel 20 move to the avoiding position. When the motor 40 rotates counterclockwise, the motor 40 drives the screw rod 30 to rotate in the second direction, and makes the panel 20 move to the covering position. Wherein, the first direction and the second direction are opposite, one of the first direction and the second direction is clockwise direction, and the other is counterclockwise direction.

[0056] The first plate segment can also not move up and down, for example, it can move forward and backward (such as Figure 3 left-right direction).

[0057] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 , the driving device further comprises a first gear 103 and a second gear 104.

[0058] The first gear 103 is drivingly connected with the motor 40; the second gear 104 is engaged with the first gear 103 and drivingly connected with the screw rod 30.

[0059] The motor 40 drives the first gear 103 to rotate, the first gear 103 drives the second gear 104 to rotate, and the second gear 104 drives the screw rod 30 to rotate.

[0060] Wherein, the first gear 103 and the second gear 104 are sequentially arranged in the direction from inside to outside.

[0061] The driving device comprises a first gear 103 connected with the motor 40 and a second gear 104 engaged with the first gear 103 and drivingly connected with the screw rod 30. The first gear 103 and the second gear 104 are sequentially arranged in the direction from inside to outside, i.e. the first gear 103 is located inside the second gear 104. The direction close to the middle of the main body 10 is inside, and the direction away from the middle of the main body 10 is outside. The motor 40 is drivingly connected with the first gear 103, i.e. the motor 40 is located inside the second gear 104. This arrangement can make the motor 40 close to the inside, prevent the motor 40 from being arranged outside, and make the panel 20 need to be arranged far away from the main body 10, i.e. the panel 20 need to be arranged outside, so that the arrangement of the first gear 103 and the second gear 104 can avoid the panel 20 moving outward to increase the thickness of the indoor unit.

[0062] The motor 40 and the first gear 103 are sequentially arranged along the connecting line direction of the covering position and the avoiding position, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The motor 40 is located above the first gear 103.

[0063] The screw rod 30 and the second gear 104 are sequentially arranged along the connecting line direction of the covering position and the avoiding position, as shown in Figure 5 The second gear 104 is located above the screw rod 30. The top end of the screw rod 30 is inserted into the center hole of the second gear 104.

[0064] The first plate segment 201 comprises a plate body 2011 and a moving seat 203. The moving seat 203 is located on the surface of the plate body 2011 facing the main body 10, i.e. the moving seat 203 is arranged inside the plate body 2011. The plate body 2011 is provided with a first connecting part 2012, and the moving seat 203 is provided with a first connecting matching part 2035 connected with the first connecting part 2012. The first connecting matching part 2035 is matched with the first connecting part 2012 to fix the panel 20 and the moving seat 203. The connection mode of the first connecting matching part 2035 and the first connecting part 2012 can be screw connection, clamping or other forms. The plate body 2011 and the moving seat 203 can also be an integrated structure.

[0065] The number of the first connecting part 2012 is multiple, and the number of the first connecting matching part 2035 is equal to and one-to-one corresponding to the number of the first connecting part 2012. The number of the moving seat 203 can be one or more.

[0066] The moving seat 203 is connected with the plate body 2011. Threaded holes are arranged on the moving seat 203. The screw rod 30 is threadedly connected with the threaded holes, so that the screw rod 30 is threadedly connected with the first plate segment 201. The threaded holes include a first threaded hole 2032 and a second threaded hole 2034. The first threaded hole 2032 and the second threaded hole 2034 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the screw rod 30. The screw rod 30 sequentially passes through the first threaded hole 2032 and the second threaded hole 2034 and is threadedly connected with the first threaded hole 2032 and the second threaded hole 2034. The motor 40 drives the first gear 103 to rotate. The first gear 103 drives the second gear 104 to rotate. The second gear 104 is fixedly connected with the screw rod 30, so as to drive the screw rod 30 to rotate. When the screw rod 30 rotates, the moving seat 203 moves along the length direction of the screw rod 30, so as to drive the first plate segment 201 to move along the length direction of the screw rod 30.

[0067] When the first threaded hole 2032 and the second threaded hole 2034 rise relative to the screw rod 30, the first plate segment 201 opens the air outlet 101. The air outlet 101 is exposed. The first plate segment 201 moves to the avoiding position. When the first threaded hole 2032 and the second threaded hole 2034 descend relative to the screw rod 30, the first plate segment 201 covers the air outlet 101. The first plate segment 201 moves to the covering position, so as to prevent dust from falling into the indoor unit from the air outlet 101. The integrity of the appearance of the indoor unit is improved.

[0068] The moving seat 203 arranged on the plate body 2011 can also play a role in enhancing the structural strength of the first plate segment 201.
